Home learning

[Ajames]

Given that most parents will now be grappling with enforced home learning for their children, I will provide resources under this topic each week that you might want to electronically share with your parent community.

This would also be an excellent place to share home learning ideas with your fellow trainees so that they can use them accordingly.

This week, I attach guidance on how parents can engage with ‘Dialogic Reading’ and a list of practical activities to encourage children’s Listening and Attention.

Alex has very kindly shared a link for you and your parent community to access to support them with home learning. She is hoping to add to this each week and, with her permission, I will share it here as she does so.

That Link goes to my Youtube channel which is where I am uploading my activity videos so no need for additional links/posts. Everyone can just click on that link whenever and will be able to see any additional videos I have posted 🙂

Danni Strange, Head of EYFS at Braiswick Primary School has kindly given us permission to share her blog about ideas for home learning. This could be shared with your parent community or indeed, used with your own children!
